Alfredo's Italian Restaurant   

The SceneA dusky jewel among the lower-strata strip joints and fetish shops of Cheshire Bridge Road, this concrete block bunker is a stalwart veteran of the Atlanta dining scene. Experience-seekers will squeal with delight upon entering the low-lit dining room with its red vinyl, gilt decorations and tuxedo-clad servers. Premium seats have their back to the wall.The FoodMuch of the appeal at this local favorite is the old school atmosphere, and there are plenty of reliable Italian favorites on the menu. Follow your instincts and go retro to the hilt--big cocktail warm-up at the bar followed by stuffed mushrooms, fettuccini alfredo, veal parmagiana and cheesecake. Alfredo's might not become your regular hangout, but it's an Atlanta institution that's definitely not to be missed.
